Do you do things to honor Esme’s son in your own way? If so, what are they?

I never miss buying flowers for his birth, and I am always extra cautious to save space for Esme on that day. When we are within easy distance of his grave, as we are now, we go on his birthday and other days like Mother's Day. I once wanted to be very much a part of that, but over time I've learned that my role is to be as much or as little as my wife wants me to be. That varies from year to year and sometimes, minute to minute.

Dialing up 1972 for a phone interview with Miss Annette Hanshaw---

Jack Cullen interviews Annette Hanshaw (10/18 1901 - 03/13 1985)

A chance to hear Miss Hanshaw in her own words & songs! A few words about Canadian broadcaster John F. "Jack" Cullen (02/16 1922 - 04/27 2002) Cullen was best-known (for over five decades) at CKNW as host of his lateshow “Owl Prowl” until 1999. His Sunday night show was called "98 Memory Lane" where he'd play 78 RPM records from the 1920s - 1950s. Cullen purchased his first 78 RPM record, “Don’t Give Up The Ship” (by Dick Powell) in November 1935. From there his record collection grew to over 300,000! Jack Cullen tried to interview virtually every entertainer who came to Vancouver & was first hired by CKNW in 1949. By then, Cullen was constantly taking a wire recorder around to local nightclubs to capture acts by artists such as Frank Sinatra & Judy Garland for quasi-legal use on his radio shows! Most of the performers weren't so concerned by this as they knew that Cullen would promote hell out of their music on the radio & paint them in a favorable light. Surreptitiously Cullen taped performances by Harry Belafonte, The Beatles & Frank Sinatra to play on his show, leading to chastisement by the American Federation of Musicians! For that reason Sinatra refused to be interviewed by Jack Cullen. Louis Armstrong on the other hand, was so charmed by Cullen that he authorized the official release of a bootleg recording Cullen made of him in 1951! Cullen was known to be on good terms with Bob Hope, Sammy Davis Jr. & also charmed Nat King Cole with reminiscences of Cole’s early career. Here at The Big Broadcast Legacy Group we hear him charm the charming Annette Hanshaw. He recorded this exchange for his CKNW radio show in 1972. His programs often contained surface noise (bangs thuds & crunches), as he would move around to pick a record or answer a phone with the mike on!

Jack Cullen is a voice that needs to be heard. The Hertfordshire based singer songwriter has stopped us in our music searching tracks with his superb third single, Shine. Like many artists we’ve come to love and adore, Cullen also had a very different prior life before he decided to dedicate himself to his music dreams. He once played professional rugby back home in Ireland, and he’s now returned to his hometown to broaden his horizons as a gifted artist and songwriter, having toured with the likes of multi-platinum Keywest as well as dazzled listeners with his first official singles Learn and Teabags & Cigarettes, as well as his gorgeous cover of Sigrid’s Sucker Punch. On Shine, Jack Cullen voice rises earnestly over a bed of sparse piano and the occasional twangy guitar curl. Shine is intense yet warm in equal measure, topped with Jack’s pure, heart-felt lyrics. It’s a stirring love confessional, delivered with fervent conviction. Speaking on the track, Jack states; “Personally the song is an appreciation of someone in particular that made me feel good and gave me a new lease of life, whenever I was feeling down. In a time of darkness, whatever that may be to someone, there will always be someone or something to provide light. You just have to find it.” Listen to Cullen’s prior singles, rustic heart wrangler Teabags & Cigarettes and reedy jangler Learn, below. Shine is out now, here.
